The Villainess VTuber Rips People Apart

[Virtual Aituber Gallery]

[General] The sub-character was just too skilled, lol

I rewatched the archive,
and it turns out it wasn't sub-character abuse or bad manners at all.
The Labyrinth Gallery idiots, lol.

[Comments]

• They were just ridiculously good, lol.
• You could tell from the fact that they didn’t get banned during the wave.
• This is why staying quiet keeps you in the middle, lol.
• Is it the first time the Labyrinth crowd acted like idiots?
• Finally, some normalization in this gallery, lol.

[General] Those Labyrinth bastards got what they deserved, lol

After Labyrinth popped off, a bunch of Labyrinth users flooded the gallery,
messing up the boards every competition season, and I hated it.
But they got cut down completely, lol.

Shouldn’t we be praising this?
Hail the Queen Laura!

[Comments]

• This is karma, lol.
• For real, they never talk about VTubers, only about the Labyrinth crap.
  ㄴ (Author) Even when they do talk about VTubers, they just borrow VTuber names to mention pros, lol.
• A maiden is different, indeed.
  ㄴ Hold on, it’s "A-maiden," not just maiden.

[Fan Creation] "Don’t cry, Rion."

"You’re the prettiest when you smile, my little kitten."

[Comments]

• Why is this so sweet, lol?
• You already drew this, lol.
• The Queen Laura is seriously too cool.
• What do I do, I’m trembling, lol.
• Right now, Laura and Rion must be swapping tongues.
  ㄴ You’re crazy, lol.
  ㄴ Go hold hands with the Labyrinth crowd on your way to jail, lol.
  ㄴ You’ll get sued for inappropriate comments, lol.

[General] Those Labyrinth idiots are going to get sued, right?

Yeah.

[Comments]

• Some of them probably will, lol.
• There are always those idiots who think it’s okay to cross the line when they see a chance.
• Definitely a lawsuit waiting to happen.
• Doesn’t EYEAI have a strict image management policy?
  ㄴ EYEAI has always been firm in their responses.
  ㄴ They were like that before the first generation left, but things changed after.
  ㄴ The CEO is pretty strict, so I doubt they’ll let it slide.
  ㄴ Even if it doesn’t seem like it, the company has always been firm, lol.

[General] Now that I think about it, wasn’t it Laura who brought Anna and Rui together?

(Screenshot from Rui’s participation stream)

It was because Laura set up the moment with her stealthy play that Anna confessed to Rui.
And today, when Rion was struggling to defend Laura, she stepped in herself.
Laura raised Rion, or was it the other way around?

[Comments]

• Now that you mention it, Rui’s participation was thanks to Aurora.
• "Raised"? What the hell, lol.
  ㄴ (Author) Who would have a kid from incest?
  ㄴ Got it, but don’t put it so bluntly, you jerk.
• Keep at it until the Cat Planet burns down.
• Anna said she’d raise it!
• I’ll be the one to raise it, lol.
  ㄴ ?
  ㄴ ???
  ㄴ Seeing A-maiden’s punching skills, I bet it’ll happen to you first.
  ㄴ She’s a maiden, but not a virgin, huh?

• Where’s the hype?
• People sure subscribed fast...
• Even with Aurora, there are only four of them?
  ㄴ (Author) It looks like there are only four 6th-gen based on the SNS accounts.
• Why is this generation smaller than the others?
  ㄴ The other one is because Rion is pregnant.
  ㄴ Are you insane, lol?

My flashy day has ended.

I was being scolded.
Alongside Rion.
In the CEO’s office.

"I thought my heart was going to stop."

The person in front of me, Jung Ho-young, the CEO, was running his hand through his hair, sighing continuously.

"Aurora, do you even realize what you did last night?"
"Yes, of course, I do."
"The fact that you knew makes it even worse… No VTuber in the world streams before they even officially debut."

Well, then I’ll be the first, setting a new precedent.

Instead of saying that, I just gave him a small smile, and he sighed once again.

"Yeah, it was entertaining, I’ll admit. Betting your retirement on an argument with viewers… It was content that makes me question your sanity, though."

My stream yesterday was so provocative that it became a hot topic across several communities. My subscriber count is skyrocketing because of it.

Of course, if I had lost the argument and had to retire, the story would have been different. But there are no "what ifs" in history.

I won, and I survived.

"You’re good at arguing. Do you have experience with this?"
"I’m a duke’s daughter. It’s common for noblewomen to engage in verbal battles in social circles. That’s just how we are."
"Were you educated at a girls’ school?"

I was just telling the truth, but the CEO seemed to interpret it differently. Unfortunately, I went to a co-ed school.

He looked at me like I was strange, then let out a baffled laugh.@@novelbin@@

"Normally, I’d have to discipline you for this, Aurora, but since the results were good, I’ll let it slide. We’ll keep the archive up as well."
"I thought it’d be set to private."
"I’d like to, but the reaction was too positive, so we’ll leave it. It looks like being a wild VTuber works for you."
"Wild? Hardly. I’m one of the most elegant and well-mannered people you’ll ever meet."
"I’m not talking about formalities. I’m talking about your real nature… There have been VTubers like that, you know. Ones who openly talk about private parts, casually discuss their periods, or brag about not showering for a week."

That’s not wild; that’s just gross.

"Anyway, there are VTubers who’ve become quite popular for being so outrageous. I’m sure your current persona will do well."
"You’re too harsh. I’m far from vulgar, yet you’re grouping me with those types."
"It’s almost charming how you say things like that… I’ve never met anyone like you, Aurora."

The CEO shifted his gaze from me to Rion, who had been silently standing by my side.

Rion flinched when he noticed the attention on him.

"Rion, you know that if a VTuber can’t end their stream, the manager can do it remotely, right?"
"Yes, I’m aware."
"Make sure Aurora doesn’t go too wild. You’re her manager, after all."
"I’ll make sure of it…."
"And Aurora, even though you went live, you haven’t officially debuted yet. Don’t stream until Saturday."
"Understood."
"…And I mean it. Don’t stream, or I’ll have to take serious action."

The CEO reiterated this firmly. He looked at me as if I were some wild animal about to break loose.

"Alright, Aurora, you may leave now. Rion, go and do your work."

Finally, we were free from the CEO’s office.

"Sis, go home first. …I might be working late, and I’m not sure when I’ll get home."
"? Is there another problem?"

I’m not sure what exactly a manager’s job entails, but now that my controversy has been resolved, Rion’s workload should have eased. She had been busy collecting data, but there shouldn’t be much need for that anymore.

So, shouldn’t her work be decreasing instead? But Rion shook her head.

"Your channel’s PV went up recently."
"That’s right."

That’s how we managed to draw attention.

As I nodded, Rion spoke in a strained voice.

"But it looks weird if only your channel has a PV, right? So, I have to make the PVs for the other 6th-gen members too."
"Are you doing that all by yourself?"
"Yeah… just me."

Rion lowered her head.

"Sis, should I just set the company on fire?"

Rion gave me a twisted smile.

I later found out that her voice had been loud enough to reach the CEO’s office.

It was because we were still standing outside the door.

EYEAI Official @EYEAI_official

We look forward to your viewership!

The cold and isolated modern world.

Once, people used to have close relationships with their neighbors, or so she had heard, but it wasn’t something Sora could relate to.

Come to think of it, she had never spoken with her neighbors.

This was her first time ringing the doorbell of the apartment next door.

Ding dong

"Who is it?"

The door opened, and a woman in her 40s appeared. They’d exchanged glances a few times when taking out the recycling.

The woman didn’t seem particularly wary, likely recognizing Sora’s face.

"Hello, I live next door."
"Yes, yes."
"I’ve recently installed some soundproofing, but I can’t tell if it’s working properly. Has it been too noisy?"
"No, it’s been fine."
"That’s a relief~."

After asking a few more questions, Sora left.

Next, she headed upstairs.
She also planned to ask the neighbor below a few things as well.

"Ah."

Going up and down the stairs, Sora tried out her voice.

"I guess I won’t be eating on Saturday."

She muttered to herself.

People with sensitive throats are said to avoid eating or drinking on days when they need to use their voice.

Just that alone can make a difference in the condition of one’s voice.
